Has Superman or Batman Fared Better at the Box Office?

Through the years, Batman has dominated over
Superman at the box office, and by a wide margin.

The seven movies featuring the Caped Crusader have
grossed $1.894 billion at the domestic box office, and $2.887 billion when
adjusting for ticket price inflation, according to comScore and Box Office
Mojo. (This list doesn't include the 1993 animated film Batman: Mask of the
Phantasm.)

The six Superman movies earned $810 million or so in North America, and
$1.605 billion when adjusting for inflation. On average, the Batman films
earned $270.6 million each, compared to $134.9 million for the Superman pics, not
accounting for inflation.
